Time 40m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons allspice
5 cups unsalted dry roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Place peanuts into a large bowl.
  • Pour maple syrup and allspice into a small saucepan and place over medium-high heat.
  • Bring to a simmer and turn off heat and let cool slightly.
  • Pour warm maple syrup mixture over peanuts in the bowl and stir with a wooden spoon to coat peanuts thoroughly.
  • With a slotted spoon scoop peanuts from bowl and place into sieve and partially drain over the bowl while transferring peanuts onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Repeat process until the baking sheet is full of nuts.
  • Place any extra nuts on a second baking sheet.
  • Place baking sheet (s) in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes or until mixture has darkened in colour.
  • Be careful to watch that the nuts don't burn- the maple syrup will caramelize and burn easily, so it must be checked frequently.
  • Pull the nuts from the oven and transfer onto a single layer of parchment on a counter and let cool.
  • With a metal spatula, loosen the nuts from the paper and store in a fun bowl for eating right way or in an airtight container if making in advance.
